There have been 39 cases of global H9N2 influenza since 2013, mostly in mainland China. The rest of the country includes Hong Kong (1 case, imported from Guangdong Province), Egypt (3 cases), Bangladesh (2 cases), and Oman (1 case). ); So far, there has been 1 death, with a fatality rate of 2.6%. The WHO said that since the virus is still detected in poultry and the environment, cases are expected to occur, but the risk of human-to-human transmission is low because the virus has not been capable of continuous transmission among humans. The Department of Disease Control said that although most human H9N2 cases were mild, a case of severe pneumonia was reported for the first time in March this year. It is a 9-year-old boy in Jiangsu who has a history of exposure to the live poultry market and the public must remain vigilant. At present, the CDA has listed the new type A influenza tourism epidemic in Anhui Province, Beijing, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Hunan Province, Jiangsu Province, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and Yunnan Province as the second level alert (Alert) , Other provinces and cities are listed as the first level Watch.
The CDA reminded that when traveling to mainland China, the principle of "five to six and no" should be implemented. Fifth: poultry and eggs should be cooked, hands should be washed with a soapy base, masks should be provided for prompt medical attention if symptoms occur, and long-term contact with birds. Those who need to be vaccinated against influenza, have a balanced diet, and take appropriate exercise; 6 No: do not eat raw poultry eggs or products, do not smuggle and purchase meat from unknown poultry, do not contact or feed migratory birds and birds, do not release and Randomly discard birds, do not mix breeding birds with other poultry and livestock, do not go to places with no air circulation or crowded people. If you have a fever or flu-like symptoms when returning to China, you should take the initiative to inform airline personnel and quarantine personnel at airports and ports; if you experience the above symptoms after returning to China, you should wear a mask to seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and inform the physician of your history of travel contact.
